Crossed Stitch

I must say, why have i been scared to do these stitches – i dont know. They are easy!! I have so many articles that i want to now make with all these new stitches that i learnt today. WOW !!!

For Crossed Stitch, work with an even number of stitches, plus 1 more on each side for the selvage. This is a two row repeat that is easy to remember. Depending on what you are making, the number of edge stitches can be adjusted to fit your project. And they are not complicated at all!!!!

Row 1: Knit 1 (selvage) *Slip 1 with yarn in back, Knit 1, Yarn Over, Pass the Slipped Stitch over both the Knit Stitch and the Yarn Over* Repeat to last stich, Knit 1 (selvage)

Row 2: Purl all stitches
Repeat these two rows for pattern

I love the feeling of this stitch and its easy to do..  

Cast on an even number of stitches

Row 1: Knit (You will only work Row 1 once, it is not included in the repeat)
Row 2: Knit 1 *K2tog* Knit last stitch
Row 3: *Knit 1, Make one by knitting into the bar between the stitch you just knit and the next stitch on your left needle* Knit two. (When you come to the last two stitches, you will not knit the bar between them. If you do, this will give you an unnecessary extra stitch)
Row 4: Knit
Row 5: Purl

Repeat from Row 2 for pattern.

Wicker Stitch

Being ill in bed and not in the mood for pattern knitting as i keep on pulling my work out (NOTE: DO NOT KNIT WHEN ILL)  i decided to rather teach myself new stitches.

Wicker stitch is one i always wanted to learn but every description i get of it – does not work out. Luckily, i found this tutorial and now i can do the wicker stitch.
